So, I'll be becoming a Marine soon. All of these mandates started just recently when my plan was already set in stone. Decided not to go to college BECAUSE I've wanted to take this route for such a long time.
Anyone able to give me any work arounds here?
Get out. This is the worst time to be going in right now. Go to trade school. Even if you have to use tuition assistance a solid trade like welding will have that shit paid off in less than a year and you'll be rolling in six figures much sooner than if you sell your soul to Satan.
